Chico Yorkshire Terrier Mix Brooklyn, NY

If you’re looking for a calm lapdog to give belly rubs to, Chico is your best choice. Chico is a sweet older gentleman who just wants to curl up next you while you work from home. This 12 year old, 20lb Yorkie is a gentle soul who likes his sleep more than anything. He likes to enjoy the sunshine each day, taking his time to sniff the flowers and greet some neighbors. Chico will need no more than an hour to explore before he’s curled up by your feet again. Since he’s a senior dog with a low activity level, he’ll need a cozy spot to chill out in. When he’s awake he’d love to receive as much chin scritches and belly rubs as you’re willing to give him. But if you can’t be his personal masseuse at the moment, he is more than willing to lay down and wait while you tend to your business. He also enjoys an occasional round of fetch and tug but takes a little while to really get interested. If he’s up to it, and you’re a bit persistent he’ll transform into a cute playful pup. Chico is house trained and does very well left unsupervised as he mainly sleeps when he’s left alone. A home with people who have a lower activity level would be great for Chico. He does very well around small children, cats and dogs who are on the smaller side. Chico does not like big dogs. No yard is needed for a dog like him as he is house trained.

His adoption fee is $325. He is being fostered in Queens. To adopt this pet, please visit https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt

All of our dogs come spayed or neutered, fully up to date on vaccinations, including rabies (if age appropriate) and bordetella, are microchipped, heartworm negative, current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention, dewormed, and treated for any ailments found upon veterinary examination. The adoption fee covers a portion of these services, and makes it possible for us to continue rescuing animals.

For more information on the adoption fees and the adoption process, please complete our adoption application here: https://www.louieslegacy.org/adopt - an application allows us to get to know your family better so we can assess whether the animal you are interested in is a good match for your home. An application does not obligate you to adopt. Please understand that due to the volume of applications some animals receive, we are unable to contact all applicants. If your application is considered a good fit for the dog you are interested in, or even a different pet, a volunteer will give you a call as soon as possible.

We are a foster based rescue and do not have a shelter location where dogs can be seen during the week. Please see our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/LouiesLegacy for our weekly adoption album if you are interested in meeting a dog in person. Not all animals attend every adoption event, please check our Facebook page for animal event times and locations before you make a trip to meet a specific animal.

Thanks so much for caring about a needy animal!
